Who is an Endodontist? Understanding Their Role and Expertise at Dentique

While general dentists handle routine dental care, there is a specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to saving teeth that are at risk due to decay, injury, or infection. This specialty is called endodontics, and the experts who practice it are known as endodontists. At Dentique, Wakad, our endodontists focus on preserving natural teeth and ensuring optimal oral health.

Who is an Endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental specialist who undergoes advanced training beyond dental school, typically spending several additional years focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of issues related to the tooth pulp and surrounding tissues.

The term “endodontics” comes from the Greek words “endo” (inside) and “odont” (tooth), meaning these specialists are experts in treating the inner structures of teeth. Endodontists are trained to handle complex procedures, ensuring patient comfort and preserving natural teeth whenever possible.

What Does an Endodontist Do?

Endodontists at Dentique, Wakad specialize in saving teeth and managing complex dental issues. Key treatments include:

• Root Canal Treatment: Treats infected or inflamed dental pulp by removing the damaged tissue, cleaning, shaping, and sealing the tooth. This prevents extraction and preserves the natural tooth.

• Endodontic Retreatment: Revisits teeth that have undergone previous root canal treatment but require additional care to resolve persistent issues.

• Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries: Manages cracked, dislodged, or knocked-out teeth, restoring function and appearance.

• Management of Complex Cases: Handles difficult cases such as teeth with unusual anatomy, multiple canals, or hard-to-reach root structures.

When Should You See an Endodontist?

You may need to consult an endodontist at Dentique, Wakad if you experience:

• Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure

• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks

• Swelling or tenderness in the gums around a tooth

• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth after an injury

• A bump near a tooth that may indicate infection

In these situations, our general dentists can refer you to our skilled endodontists for precise and effective treatment.

Why Endodontic Care is Important

Preserving your natural teeth is always preferable to extraction and replacement. Endodontic care helps maintain:

• Natural bite and function

• Aesthetic appearance of your teeth and smile

• Prevention of more extensive dental procedures in the future
